The focus on the rich is weak leftist crap designed to prevent nodes of power that are independent of the regime. Rich means someone has acquired a lot of currency and assets. Wealth, on the other hand, is access to goods and services. Government bureaucrats, NGO workers, prominent college professors, journos, and other members of the managerial elite can have access to a lot of goods and services without being rich. Instead of "Tax the Rich" it should be "Expropriate the Wealthy", which means liquidating the universities, NGOs, etc as well as the billionaires.
